This time of year is expensive for parents

October 4, 2011 by Tricia

I’ve always wanted kids but I think there’s one thing I’ve lucked out on by not having them yet .. this time of year seems to be mighty expensive! All of my friends that have kids have been spending tons of money in the last two months getting their kids ready for school.

My friends with kids have been buying school clothes, school supplies, school uniforms and school text books and so on. I’m sure they’d love to find ways to save money at this time of year.

Actually, one of my friends was talking about using something called scholastic coupons to save some money. I’d never heard of this before .. but then I don’t have kids so I never look for this kind of money saving coupon I suppose. Have you ever used or heard of scholastic coupons to save money on school supplies for your kids?

I’ll be thinking of those of you that are parents! Hopefully the spending that you need to do is slowing down!

Finding a Father’s Day gift

June 16, 2011 by Tricia

My husband is trying to figure out what to get his father for Fathers Day. Yes I know, it’s a little bit late to be searching for a present, but not too late!

His father doesn’t have a lot of hobbies so that doesn’t help. He does love hockey though, so we might get him some hockey DVDs – like classic games and things like that.

My husbands brother was suggesting that we think about getting him a radar detector – maybe a whistler radar detector. I’m not sure if he’d use it or not. We might get it … I’ll have to check it out a bit more though. Have any of you tried using one of these? Did you like it, were you happy with it?

So much running around to do tomorrow – not fair

May 28, 2011 by Tricia

I’ve got so much to do tomorrow.

This weekend there’s something going on in Toronto called Open Doors. Since I had a lot of work to do on the computer I got my husband to agree that we’d do Open Doors tomorrow. Of course that means that we’ll really be running around!

I also have to get some shopping done. That includes getting some grocery shopping as well as getting some Beads for a kids party in a week. Stores close earlier on Sundays around here as well so I have to get most everything done by about 5:30p.m..

I also still need to write back to my brothers and sister about setting up video chat. I have no idea how to do that, but I guess I’m going to be learning in the next day or so because my family wants to start video chatting. Should be interesting!

Busy busy busy!

Have to come up with a gift idea for my brother in law

May 5, 2011 by Tricia

It’s my brother in laws birthday next week and my husband and I are busy trying to figure out just what kind of gift to get him as a gift.

He’s kind of a guys guy .. likes going out to the ball game, watching hockey, getting together with the guys and maybe playing a game of golf every now and then. Hmmm maybe I’ll come up with some Golf Gift Ideas for my brother in law … a new putter? I’m sure there’s something golf wise he could use, especially now that the weather is getting better and he’ll be out on the course more.

Any ideas for me? What would you get for a real guys guy that loves sports?

Time to shop for new clothes

March 30, 2011 by Tricia

I think I’m going to go shopping for some new clothes this weekend. I know for sure that whatever I do I’m going to get my haircut! My hair just grows like a weed and it seems like in the last week it’s become unmanageable so if it continues to grow like this it’s going to be a shaggy mess in a couple of weeks … or at least it will feel like that to me.

So … a hair cut and some shopping are in my plans for the weekend. There’s this urban clothes shop that I’ve been wanting to check out at the mall .. so this might be the perfect opportunity. My husband needs some clothes too. I guess it’s that time of year – a new season so time for new clothes.

Are you starting to feel the need to do some clothes shopping too? Is it just because it’s spring?
